1. Started going to college - The few long time readers I've seem to keep since the start are well aware of my two year academic hiatus. This past September I enrolled in a General Arts & Science Program and I've loved it.
2. Figured out the public transit system- College graciously provided an unrestricted transit pass to full-time students. Being the cheap....I mean frugal individual that I tend to be in a lot of areas I've been abusing. ( Are transit system could rival major cities!) I was shocked.
3. Saved $914 in past three months- It's all the transit pass
4. Taught my first workshop on video editing - I took a condensed history course this semester and the final project involved a video production. A large number of the class didn't really no what to do. I volunteered to help a few and ended up teaching a full class. I've never had to teach something that wasn't athletic and I'm glad to say I survived.
5. Passed most of courses with 80s or higher - This one is huge for me! I've always been a weaker student in core subjects. I got my grades on Dec 23 and I was dumbfounded by the results. Normally I'd get minimum grades in core subjects.
6. Uploaded over 100 videos and Broke 100 Subscribers on YouTube - When I started uploading few videos as a means of storage and to show some family members. I never expected to be loading my 100th video four years later or to see 100 dedicated viewers. It's so unreal and I'm hoping I can deliver some more videos on the Brickers channel and start delivering a new style of videos on my new channel due out for 2010.
7. Twitter - Don't even call me a tweet whore I only have 5,000 tweets. I also fought tooth and nail not to join twitter and like a black hole it pulled me in. It's afforded me the ability to interact with people I probably never would have. Heck I ended up with some followers I never would of expected to follow me. I mean hell I'm just plain old Hutch. Talked video games with Dillon Buck. The Brangelina of porn Steve Cruz and Bruno Bond follow me; Steve even shared about his christmas gifts with me, Manage to make Samuel Colt laugh a few times. Even poked a bit of fun at his boyfriend, Chris is a good sport! All these guys are gay porn royalty and it's humbling that they'd even look at one of my tweets let alone interact. Jeff from Str8cam lube has a lube thats taking over the damn world while we banter about stupid stuff or discuss his addiction to the weight room and Nintendo Wii. Can't forget Rock, one a few people who can go pound for pound with me when it comes to making seemingly innocent tweets seem lewd. I'm also planning on having him take my anatomy tests in year two. I've gained a few friends over the past 7 or 8 months I've had twitter some of them are even mentioned in this blog in round about ways.
8. Hawaii Five- 0 - I grew up watching the original and the new one is just as amazing in it's own right. Plus the cast is utterly hot. Can't even say there is an ugly actor or actress on that show.
LOWs
1. STD - This vindictive chick at the college spread around a rumour that I had herpes, Aids and slept around. Because of her status in the social ladder a lot of people believed her. It really sucked.
2. Figured out the catalyst for the STD rumour - After about a month of hazing, I started to track down the ignition source. When I caught up to her....instead of yelling all I wanted to know was why. She saw me sporting the Red Ribbon on World Aids Day. Because of that one little Ribbon, she chucked it up to me promiscuous with men. Because you know all gay guys have AIDS. That one royally pissed off not because I was pegged as being gay but the fact she'd do that to a gay person. What if I had been legitimately gay? What if I'd actually been an AIDs? Now that would of really hurt emotionally and been well damaging.
3. Got a 51 in Photography - Wasn't to cool with this grade, simply because I know I'm not a half ass photographer.
4. A blogger tried force me out of the metaphorical closet. Indirectly calling me gay while full on attacking my character. Simply because I didn't fit there cut ideals of how a gay or straight guy should be. As much as I'd said about that and not caring about it over my blog. In a lot of ways I couldn't give a damn about that being said or posed. It was the person who did it. Now I'd heard a lot of shit about this blogger from a few other bloggers but turned a deaf ear and blind eye to it and thought to make my own judgement on them. They ended up burning me over conjecture instead of doing the adult thing and asking me. The thing is it hurt because I considered them a friend on some level. Since they had a blog with some pull with a lot of my readers. I ended up loosing a good portion of readers.
I'm a silver lining kind of guy so at least I got to realize who my loyal readers were and for that much I'm thankful.
5. Wisdom Teeth - I was a terrible teether as a child and that seemed to have stuck. I have the room for the teeth it's just their taking their own sweet time to grow in and decided to do a bit of growing here and there. Sometimes tylenol and aspirin do nothing for the pain. I've been side lined a few times from hockey because of them. Definitely sucks.
That is basically all there is to my 2010 year. I can't wait to see what 2011 holds for me and for you if you wanna blog it.
Because I got the idea form Steve....Go check his blog...he's nicer to look at.

I finally got my tech set up in my room. Yes I'm aware of how Geeky I truely am

Good on the highs and I'm sorry for the lows. Hope 2011 rocks for you and that it's your best year yet. Not so much on My Space anymore, but I am on Twitter now @melbwrites. I'll look you up. :)
@Meli Yeah the year had definitely been a roller coaster to say the least. Though there was a lot to be learned from it. 2011 should be great.
@Rex ah, glad you dig my room. Not sure how long it's going to remain like that. I do love the classic cars. But above are glow in the dark stars, clouds and a giant sun. Which I'd outgrown years ago.
